The moon sits on my shoulder
as you whisper in my ear
Your heart beats oh so close to mine,
you kiss away my fears.
the stars fall from the midnight sky
to the shadow scape of earth
and with them falls the veil of night
with its song of death and birth.



II

the orb of silver sinks low,
the stars alight the lake
the petals have fallen from the flowering cherry
and covered the surface in elegance
the air sweet with the nectar of night
the promise of morning
and the chirping of night's crickets

I sit and listen
enraptured
